weekend review: worth it

Figure 1. Friday night's dinner: penne rosa with shrimp (uses Greek yogurt for creaminess!) and simple roasted asparagus.

And now, Sunday night's cooking adventure begins.

Figure 2. In preparation: tackling a butternut squash for roasting. This process is a bit tedious, but the delicious end product is worth it.

Figure 3. In preparation: onions, celery, and garlic sauteing; prepped butternut squash tossed with fresh rosemary (from the front porch), olive oil, and balsamic vinegar; and green peppers ready for stuffing.

Figure 4. Out of the oven: turkey and feta stuffed peppers. This was my first ever stuffed pepper experience and all the preparation time was worth it. Absolutely delicious and the leftovers will last for days.

Figure 5. Sunday night's dinner: turkey and feta stuffed peppers, roasted butternut squash with rosemary and balsamic vinaigrette, and a mixed green salad with tomatoes and feta cheese and a homemade lemon-oregano vinaigrette. WORTH.IT.
